Anheuser-Busch announces it does not plan to sponsor LPGA event at Kingsmill any longer

LPGA’s contract with Kingsmill will not be renewed

WILLIAMSBURG, Va. — The LPGA Tour has lost one of its marquee events.

Anheuser-Busch announced Monday that it is not renewing its sponsorship of the popular Michelob Ultra Open at Kingsmill after seven years.

Anheuser-Busch vice president Dan McHugh says the company decided to spread its sponsorships over a wider range of professional golf events. He says it will continue working with the LPGA.

The tour has lost at least seven tournaments to sponsor withdrawals since 2007.
